Supporting Hands-On Learning Across North Dakota
We are excited to highlight the GoodinND Foundation for its recent grant supporting North Dakota’s Gateway to Science. Established by the Goodin family, this new foundation is already making an impact by helping strengthen access to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning across the state.
Flexible Support with Lasting Impact
General operating support plays a vital role in keeping our organization strong and responsive. It helps cover the essentials, like staffing, exhibit maintenance, and program delivery, that make it possible for us to welcome more than 100,000 visitors each year and bring Gateway to Science on the Go programs to schools and communities statewide. This kind of flexible funding allows our team to focus on innovation, outreach, and high-quality experiences for learners of all ages.
It also supports Gateway to Science on the Go, our mobile program that brings hands-on STEM experiences to schools and communities across North Dakota. Distance doesn’t cost more—every student, no matter where they live, gets the same quality experience.
Investing in the Future of STEM Education
The GoodinND Foundation’s investment supports both today’s learning experiences and tomorrow’s possibilities. By strengthening our foundation, this grant helps ensure we can continue expanding programs, collaborating with partners, and inspiring North Dakotans to explore, question, and discover.
With Gratitude
We’re grateful to the GoodinND Foundation for their commitment to education and for believing in the importance of hands-on learning experiences that reach every corner of North Dakota. Their support helps build a stronger, more connected future for learners, families, and communities across the state.
